This book will allow parents and caregivers to ally themselves with
treatment rather than the eating disorder. Written by experienced
eating-disorder specialists, the book will help caregivers to reach out
to young people having difficulty cooperating with treatment. Its
effective use of analogies and metaphors helps to crystallize a
practical understanding of eating disorders and the crucial aspects of
the treatment process. Integrating medical, psychological, and
narrative aspects, as well as the visual (with illustrations), it
encourages the reader, and by extension the sufferer, to conceptualize
each step towards health.
